Anything dry at Exit 32 or 38?

Hey all... with this high pressure and sunshine we have this week, are there routes at North Bend that may be in shape? This summer was my intro to outdoors so I have no experience in gauging whether routes may be dry or not. Thanks!

usually the route Endless Bliss at Gunshow dries out pretty fast.

check out WWI at x32, Amazonia & Nevermind walls at x38.

 

they're all overhanging, so the routes stay dry.

 

The belayer usually is forced to stand in a miserable drizzle.

Squishy Bell and Headlight Point, both at Exit 38 (north side of I-90), are for the most part out in the open so should dry out quickly after the rain stops and the frost/morning mist evaporates. They have a good range of difficulty, from pretty easy to harder-than-I-can-climb. Check www.northbendrock.com for details, or the book if you have it.

Nevermind starts to get really wet if it rains enough. Try the Actual Cave.

Depends on whether you can climb 5.11d or harder.

if you have ever even attempted to climb the cave in the "wet season" it seeps ... big (especially the .11d). Keep hiking and stay left, head to The Lost Resort. Climbing From the Wreckage(.13a) stays dry to a point (2/3's the route) in hard rain and can be completable in light rain. A fun excursion. You have to hike, yet get in some climbing. The .11b to the left is fun as well (also a bunch of other climbs further left(.10ish) and some exist to the right that I have not done). Maybe you can put "Cralwling" together in the poor conditions ... I had to come back in the sunshine to get the redpoint Damn fingers ...

 

In my expereience, Exit 32 (ww1) stay dry in a moderate rain fall. Californicator is the driest for climmber and belayet alikee. Many of the upper extensions remain completely dry, though the starts may be affected by moisture ... as of 11/20 all is good and pretty much every climb is dry. cheers.
